Scrum Master Certified (SMC) — Question 13

Gregory is the Scrum Master on a project to create automated devices for the health industry. He advocates that every member of the Scrum Team should actively participate in team building activities, estimation meetings, and in Daily Standups. He looks to give more responsibility to team members. Which of the following theories does Gregory seem to subscribe to?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Gregory's support for active participation and responsibility aligns with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which emphasizes the importance of self-actualization and personal growth. Theory X (A) assumes that employees are inherently lazy and require close supervision, while Theory Y (B) suggests that employees are self-motivated and thrive on responsibility, which is somewhat relevant but not as directly linked as Maslow's theory. Win/Win Conflict Resolution (D) is unrelated to team dynamics and individual motivation.
